Here, we’ll explore the symptoms, causes, testing for these conditions, as well as valuable insights on how to manage them effectively using a Functional Medicine approach.

What Causes High Blood Sugar, Insulin Resistance, and Type 2 Diabetes?
As these conditions are closely related, they share similar causes which include
- Poor diet (high in refined carbohydrates and sugars)
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Obesity
- Genetics
- Hormonal imbalances
- Chronic inflammation
- Stress
At our clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to addressing these issues by first identifying the likely diet and lifestyle factors that have caused you to develop problems regulating your blood sugar. We then create a personalised treatment plan that includes targeted nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle interventions to help you regain control of your blood sugar and overall health.
Testing blood sugar levels and related issues
Identifying insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes early on can help you take proactive steps towards better nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes, all of which play a key role in managing and potentially reversing these conditions. The first step is testing, which is available through ourselves or your GP.
Testing for high blood sugar usually done fasted and so measures your blood sugar after an overnight fast, providing a snapshot of your sugar levels at that moment. If the results indicate high blood sugar, further tests like the Hemoglobin A1c test and the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) may be recommended. The Hemoglobin A1c test provides an average of your blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, while the OGTT measures your body’s response to a sugar load over a 2-hour period.
A continuous glucose monitor such as the one pictured is also a valuable option.
Managing and Treating Blood Sugar Dysregulation using Functional Medicine
Insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes are common health concerns that can be managed effectively through a combination of natural interventions, diet and lifestyle modifications. You can expect to see a reduction in the severity of your symptoms, including a possible reversal, and an improvement in your overall quality of life.
